Elephant for Christmas

How about an elephant card for Christmas?

I came up with this card:

Father and son elephant getting their Christmas tree

was my idea for this card.

The tree and the elephants are rubber stamps by

Michael Strong.

You can find his collection here:

In the background I  used a piece of scrap paper

from my 6x6 Christmas paper pad

 This is the inside of the card.

On a piece of the left over scrap paper

"Happy Holidays"is stamped from the

Michael Strong "Words&Phrases" set.

The Christmas tree is stamped with

peeled paint distress ink and this is also rubbed

around the border of the paper.

Here a close up of the elephants (if you click on the photo

you get an even larger version). You can see the big elephant is

embossed in gold and silver embossing powder.

The tree is embossed in white an green paper and when 

 cut it out I added the stem of the tree and colored it brown

with a pencel. Then taped it to the elephant on the back

and wrapped some scrapfloss around it, so it looks like

he really carries it.

The photo corners where embossed with a folder

in the cuttlebug.

Have a creative day!
